There is little that Kajol hasn’t done in her three-decade-plus career, from headlining blockbusters to playing grey roles and recently foraying into digital entertainment. Interestingly though, a horror movie was sorely missing from her filmography. Not anymore. The actor is attempting the genre with Chhorii (2021) director Vishal Furia’s next Maa.
Saiwyn Quadras, who has penned the horror fare, says that the movie has its origins in the making of Maidaan. It turns out the conversation began unexpectedly on the sports drama’s set when leading man Ajay Devgn enquired about Quadras’ other projects. The Maidaan writer recounts, “Ajay sir and I started discussing a few ideas, which we could develop for his banner. He asked me if I had a story in the supernatural space for Kajol. Maa is a purely original horror fare, with a heavy dose of emotions that you wouldn’t expect in a supernatural film. After he liked the concept, he asked me to make Kajol ma’am listen to it. She loved it. It’s the first time that Kajol ma’am is working on a supernatural emotional drama. She keeps saying that she might not watch Maa as horror films scare her.”
